Muffaletta

(as seen on the www.foodnetwork.com)

~ 1 cup mayonaise

~ 1/4 cup sherry vinegar

~ 2 T dijon mustard

~ 1 T  honey

~ 1 red onion, diced

~ 2 cups (each) picholine & cerignola olives, coarsely chopped  (found out Whole Foods & Bristol Farms)

~ 1 cup piquillo peppers, roughly chopped

~ 1 bunch flat - leaf parsley, roughly chopped

~ 1/4 cup  oregano leaves

~  kosher salt

~ freshly ground pepper

~ 1 muffaletta or small round Italian laaf

~ 2 oz each, thinly sliced Genoa salami, hot soppresata, Salchico de vic and other dry salami & serrano ham

~ 2 oz thinly sliced manchego cheese

1.  Whisk together the mayonaise, vinegar, mustard and honey in a large bowl.  Add the onion, olives, peppers, parsley and oregano; toss, and season to taste with salt & pepper.

2.  Slice the bread in half and pull some of the interior from the top half.  Spread some of the olive salad on each half.  You will probably have some salad left; it holds well in the refrigerator.

3.  Layer the meat and cheese on the bottom half, alternating layers of meat with thin layers of cheese.  Cover with the top half and press gently, slice and serve.

The Secret Menu of In-N-Out Burger . . . .

Do not let the limited menu of In-N-Out Burger fool you, there really is a secret unpublished menu!

And it looks like this . . . . 

"3 by 3" = three meat patties and three slices of cheese

"4 by 4" = four meat patties and four slices of cheese

"2 by 4" = two meat patties and four slices of cheese

* Note: you can actually get the exact number of meat patties or cheese slices you want, up to a 4 by 4.  Just tell the In-N-Out Burger cashier what you want, for example you want 3 meat patties and 2 slice of cheese, tell them you want a "3 by 2".

"Double Meat" = like a Double Double without the cheese

"3 by Meat" = three meat patties and no cheese

"Animal Style" = the meat is cooked and fried with mustard, then pickles are added, extra spread and grilled onions

"Animal Style Fries" = fries with cheese, spread, grilled onions and pickles is you ask for them

"Protein Style" = for all you low carbohydrate dieters, this is a burger with no bun (wrapped in lettuce)

"Flying Dutchman" = two meat patties, two slices of melted cheese and nothing else, not even a bun!

Fries "Well-Done" = extra crispy fries . . . .even better than the regular!

Fries "Light" = opposite of fries well-done, more raw than most people like them

"Grilled Cheese" = no meat, just melted cheese, tomato, lettuce and spread on a bun

"Veggie Burger" = burger without the patty or cheese.  Sometimes we call this a "Wish Burger"

"Neopolitan Shake" = strawberry, vanilla and chocolate mixed together
